Oxford City FC Has New Owners

Oxford Score Against Hereford Earlier This Season

National North League Oxford City has new owners.

Spark Strategic Partners, chaired by Oxford graduate Carl Dunton, have taken over the semi-professional club.

Most of the exsisting staff are set to continue in their posts.

"Oxford City is a fantastic club with a great history and significant ties rooted in the community," said Dunton as reported by the Oxford Mail.

"The opportunity to be involved with the oldest football club in Oxford was a big attraction. 

"The Spark team has been hugely impressed with what the club has achieved and also with their plans for their men’s and women’s teams as well as for the facilities and the stadium.

"We really liked the way the club works with the university and businesses across Oxfordshire and in particular the development and education programs surrounding the club and Velocity under Eddie Odhiambo.

"The club does great work in the local community and there is a real ‘family feel’. We want this to continue and to support the club as we grow and move forward."

Spark have made money available to the club since January helping the club to bring in new players.
